I am thinking of buying traffic from revisitors.com or yourwebtraffic.com and directing that traffic to an affiliate link from clickbank. is there a big possibility that this may work? has anyone had any experience with this? and ive read some of the testimonials on revisitors and it seems a couple people are making clickbank sales with this.

    The traffic that these businesses's will send you will be broad in nature. In order to make affiliate sales, you need to find your target audience on the web and get them to view your offer.

    The businesses you mentioned will not do this for you.

    You can test them out for yourself. You might get a few sales by luck if you buy their bigger ended packages.

    I wouldn't bother with this stuff.

    @ilovetodream I find it difficult to get free traffic for myself, any advice?
    @Eddie Titan they say you can target and specify what kind of visitors you want. wouldn't that help?

    Try searching up the names of those "companies" + scam (i.e. revisitors scam), and then evaluate what you find. It ain't pretty.

    nm5419 has it right...research the company names before using them. Also, with traffic buying, they generally won't work with affiliate offers unless you buy a TON. Even then you might not get a conversion.

    How do I know? I have a reseller's account for a traffic site (not one of the ones listed). That said, I've had success with banner clickthroughs on content-based sites. So all sold traffic isn't complete trash, but it has it's place......AND, as nm5419 said, you need to research the providers.

    Nothing beats having your own traffic system that combines content syndication and a strong core site (plus maybe some PPC and social networking) to bring in ongoing sales.

    Unless your paying for traffic by placing a targeted advertisement on niche-related websites your wasting your money. That's not to say that if you could pay for exclusive ads on say the Yahoo.com homepage that you wouldn't make money, but for most niche-related advertising will get you much further than paying for 1000's of visits from sites that serve un-targeted traffic.

    Instead of sending the traffic directly to your ClickBank affiliate link why not send them to your site first? Create a squeeze page with powerful (but free) incentive, and once they've sign up, you can direct them to the vendor's site.

    The idea of buying traffic sounds good. But is it going to be relevant traffic? or just visit counts. BTW, in affiliate marketing you earn money only when a conversion takes place? or do you earn for clicks and impressions too?

    If you want to buy some targeted traffic, one good option is to buy some solo ads. It'll bring better result.

    Nur H is on the right track, find yourself a good product related to what you are going after and wack it up on a squeeze page.

    Then your traffic will be more targeted.

    If you run a clickbank, I suggest you buy traffic from adwords or buy seo services, rather than buying traffic from the two sites above. revisitors.com or yourwebtraffic.com typically used for CPAs business.

    As others have said, do the research first to see what others experience was for any place you want to advertise. And make sure your tracking is in place to track conversions, not traffic.

    I would suggest you send all traffic to a lead capture page first to build you list by giving away a free item. Once people are in your list, you can market to them for free. This is a more cost effective way than trying to sell directly when buying advertising.
